Actually, just working.

not a gawddamn thing. why do you ask?

This. I already missed the 4pm showing of IB I was going to go to because my friend fell asleep in the 20 minutes between her texting "IB at 4?" and my reply 20 minutes later.

notn tonight, but tomorrow there's a birthday party of a friend to attend. Also I should do some work.

Well ...

Saturday - Sleep late. Make big breakfast. Shovel it in my mouth. Lay around. Watch movies. Nothing that requires me getting out of my pajamas.

Sunday - Wake up semi-early. Make big breakfast. Shovel it in my mouth. Put on swimming attire. Go to the river. Plop my ass in a tube. Float. Drink vodka+oj. Float. Drink. Float. Drink. Float.

Party tonight.

Cleaning the house up tomorrow.

Tonight--Clean apartment; listen to music; laundry; telephone conversation with wife.
Saturday--Sleep in late; drink good coffee and lounge, listen to music, watch tv; haircut; go out for supplies; go out for clothing items; perhaps hit the record stores; come home and work out; dinner (maybe out); telephone conversation with wife; lounge with TV movies on.
Sunday--Sleep in late; drink good coffee and lounge; work out; telephone conversation with wife; television, then night-night.

Throw some dog walks into the whole mix, too, and some random beer/wine drinking.

Anything else you guys want to know.

tomorrow is up in the air. maybe see inglourious basterds.
sunday is chillin' day every week.

damn, where'd you get a camera for $5? What kind?

a charity shop

pentax iqzoom 115. takes 35mm (i don't do digital). some random late 80s-early 90s model with all these awesome functions, works perfect, even has a timer and a remote control!!!!

Nice.

are they expecting rain too?

Ha ha. Perhaps. God works in mysterious ways, after all.

I'm moving into my dorm room!

(btw, first time back here since...june? later y'all)

^^^ I thought you quit, quit-quitter.
do you think that they're expecting reign?

Ha ha, yah. That's good.

If I made a decision to quit absolutely it'd be as stupid as resolving to never take a break. I'll be busy the next few weeks, so I thought I'd have a look here again.

well, glad yr back then. just don't go quitting again.

Well if I turn out to be a complete loser among other losers, I'll be back for certain.

well, in that case, here's to hoping we never see you again!(?)!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to gmku again.


ha! no, Ethiopians don't believe opening an umbrella inside is bad lack, in fact they believe quite the opposite. Whenever the Gospels, the Prayer Book, the Incense or the Communion is taken out of the altar, it MUST be canopied by a jantella (umbrela), outside or indoors, regardless. I find it quite fascinating myself, and while its origins are from Eastern European christianity, in Ethiopia it has evolved to shield sacred persons and objects from the glare of the evil eye.

From Wiki:
"As a canopy of state, umbrellas were generally used in southern and eastern Europe, and then passed by a natural process from the imperial court into church ceremonial. They are found in the ceremonies of the Byzantine Church, they were borne over the Host in procession, and form part of the Pontifical regalia. Consequently, the ombrellino or umbraculum, is a part of the papal regalia. Although the popes no longer use it personally, it is displayed on the coat of arms of a sede vacante (the papal arms used between the death of a pope and the election of his successor). This umbraculum is normally made of alternating red and gold fabric, and is usually displayed in a partially unfolded manner. The popes have traditionally bestowed the use of the umbraculum as a mark of honor upon specific persons and places. The use of an umbraculum is one of the honarary symbols of a basilica and may be used in the basilica's coat of arms, and carried in processions by the basilica's canons.
A medieval gem portrays a bishop, attended by a cross-bearer, and a servant who carries behind him an umbrella.
A large umbrella is displayed in each of the Basilicas of Rome, and a cardinal bishop who receives his title from one of those churches has the privilege of having an umbrella carried over his head in solemn processions. It is possible that the galero (wide-brimmed cardinal's hat) may be derived from this umbrella.[citation needed] Beatiano, an Italian herald, says that "a vermilion umbrella in a field argent symbolises dominion."
An umbrella is also used in Roman Catholic liturgy and it's known as the "umbraculum" or "ombrellino". It is held over the Most Holy Sacrament and it's carrier by a server in short processions taking place indoors, or until the priest is met at the sanctuary entrance by the bearers of the processional canopy or baldacchino. It is regularly white or golden (the colours reserved for the Most Holy Sacrament) and made of silk.
In several Oriental Orthodox Churches, such as the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, umbrellas are used liturgically to show honor to a person (such as a bishop) or a holy object. In the ceremonies of Timkat (Epiphany), priests will cary a model of the Ark of the Covenant, called a Tabot, on their heads in procession to a body of water, which will then be blessed. Brightly-colored embroidered and fringed liturgical parasols are carried above the Tabota during this procession. Such processions also take place on other major feast days."

Well, that's a disappointment. I liked floating's interpretation better.

yeah. I myself was surprised to find out it evolved from a Western tradition, it always seemed so quaintly Ethiopian..

haha

I did get invited to a gay frat party that is Lady Gaga themed, so I'm thinking I'll either make lots of friends or get roofied.

maybe both? ;)

I can only hope!

and now for a joke in completely poor taste :)

im a loser
probably some how scrounge up enough money to get some pizza i suppose.
then
get high and watch star wars

so is my last week of summer!

HAHAHHAHAHAH

dude the hindsight one is SO GREAT. one of my friends tried to buy bear a year ago, and when asked for an i.d., he tried to use a jedi mind trick and say "you don't need to see my i.d."

but needless to say, that didn't work


hahahaha great pictures
